Over the Rainbow’s being performed by Mandy Patinkin & the school children of Staten Island for Mayor Mamdani’s inauguration brought to mind Democracy Now’s tribute to Yip Harburg- so worth a listen www.democracynow.org/2025/12/25/a...

#backyardwildlife I read somewhere (I think it was this app) that it would be kind to put out water for the wildlife during the summer heat- they seem to like it 💕

I listened to a podcast today about a controversy involving Daystar Television Network - I didn’t realize that certain tv networks are declaring to the IRS that they are “churches” - isn’t it time to tax the churches? (episode dated 12/5/2024 - The Roys Report podcast with Julie Roys)
